Sometimes in a fondue there are varied types of cheeses including some fine as well as not very fine cheeses but I always like fondue.

Courtney OSMR: Up In The Air

The whole thing might be a bit much and particularly in the beginning but still there are a great number of brilliant writing directing acting moments and overall it’s an intensely thought-provoking trip.

It wasn’t until the late 70s that this the last of the great 60s cinema was released to a nearly inaudible thud.

Courtney’s Books: “Legends of the Fall”

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 26 Jul 2021. Posted in Courtney, They Don't Make Em Like They Used To.

OK this is the greatest writer in the history of American literature. This is the single greatest novella in the history of the English language.

I actually can’t think of any other novellas except the other two in this particular printing. One is called “Revenge” which is also incredible. The other is called “The Man Who Gave Up His Name.” All three are unbelievable because he is an absolutely superlative writer. Perfect and then some. But you can see why they unfortunately chose legends of the fall to massacre in a shitty 90s film in a mall of America 1980s cliche style butchering.

Read it. – CTT

CTT: “Sideways”

I had no idea. I guess when I okayed the usage I didn’t know that this was going to end up being one of my all-time favorite movies not to mention one of the greatest movies ever made.

Courtney OSMR: “Interstellar”

Interstellar

(2014)

If you’re not particularly sensitive to over-acting then you can make it through the first half hour and if you can take a Dahlek seriously that talks like a redneck then you’re pretty much home free.

CTT’s Monday Metal Moment: “Mercury”

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 17 May 2021. Posted in Courtney, Monday Metal Moment.

One of the great guitar gods of Portland, or maybe the single greatest guitar God of Portland has left the building.

RIP Chris Newman.

The amazing drummer is Sam Henry and I know that looks like Greg Sage on bass but I don’t really have anyone still alive that I can call and ask.

Just another sidenote here, Chris had a full on suburban mom wedgey bob died jet black for the last decade or more of his life and looked cool as fuck.
